Using VPN to order.. shipping to Tenso..

When I make the order, my status was "Ship from warehouse Nov 6".
Just now when I went in JP Googlestore check again my status is now "Pending, preorder".
Why like that huh?

And also, Google has yet to charge my card for the payment.. is it normal? Do they charge only after item is shipped?

'Product Price' is the price for the product itself and domestic delivery from the online store to the Tenso warehouse.
* The maximum value for items you can purchase using this service is 200,000 yen.

FYI for those ordering from Tenso buyforme, it seems that doesnt work anymore

32GB Black/White.
$680 should be final, shouldnt exceed that cost.

680 is still too expensive for a phone that is supposed to be Nexus. I dunno if its worth it to incur so much shipping charges when it's not significantly more powerful than current phones, other than a stock android experience.

Still pondering.... :(

If you okay with slower updates, get LG g2. Also around sake price last time I check, better camera and battery life.

  • 1-for-1 warranty exchange
  • LTE
  • 2.3GHz Snapdragon
  • HD IPS
  • Android 4.4

See what's the output of the Nexus charger first bah, I haven't received my set yet :s13: .. If it's just 1A can probably just get any LG charger.. If it's 1.2A then it's the same as Optimus G pro..

I dunno what's the LG G2 charger's output, should fit the closest to N5 cos the N5 is based on G2's specs..

UK and Aust N5 should have not much problems..

just checked my g2's charger...its 1.8A

there any way to "go about" the verification portion in setting up of an account in the Japan Play store?

edit: tried using singapore number for verification and managed to get through

They only charge your CC after they ship out. Google usually very accurate with their shipping date one. Should be otw to tenso by Wednesday.

Paying 200+ to spore?

The set itself cost $550~. Shipping from JP to SG around $30. GST around $50. My calculation says it shouldn't exceed $650, unless the currency conversion differs from my points of calculation.
